Anybody remember CoRL 2021 in London?

I was the Local Chair, and that year we introduced the demos/exhibition for the first time at CoRL.

It was just a small corridor with three tables. It felt very exciting at the time... 🤭

But fast forward to #CoRL2026, and life on the exhibition floor feels very different! So much to see, so much energy and buzz.

We’ve come a long way together at CoRL. Nicely done, everyone! 👏

Built a physical simulation of a record player with WebGL2 and Web Audio. It's *shockingly* accurate: vinyl-gl.vercel.app.

Instead of playing a song, it works by converting it into the physical shape of a groove. Then a simulated stylus rides those walls 384,000 times a second, and you hear the voltage that motion would induce in a cartridge.

So the crackle, the pops, the wow/flutter, the dull inner grooves are natural byproducts of the simulation. You can also "DJ" the record.

(The converted songs are in the public domain or CC-licensed. Code is linked for you to remix and re-deploy.)

10 AI labs have come out stealth this year in London

It has become the second biggest AI hub in the world.

These companies, between, them have raised over $2.5bn.

Here is the full list:

>> @IneffableLabs - David Silver (AlphaGo) $1.1bn seed at $5.1bn.

>> @Recursive_SI - @_rockt & @RichardSocher $650m at $4.65bn.

>> Emulate (still in stealth) - @jparkerholder (DeepMind world models) In talks for $700m at $3.7bn, a month after founding.

>> Revolution Labs - @NandoDF (DeepMind, Microsoft AI) $60m led by Accel.

>> @inherent_labs - @edwardfhughes & DeepMind alumni $50m seed.

>> @Machenta_ - Imperial professor @Ed__Johns $40m. The UK's largest ever robotics seed.

>> @ZenithonAIx - @alexhigg_ $10m. World models for fusion reactors and rockets.

>> Metis Reasoning - @ThoreG (AlphaGo co-creator) AI whose reasoning can be checked.

>> @cursive_ai - @talfanevans & @olivierhenaff

>> @potentialsci_ - A frontier lab for chemistry, backed by @UKSovereignAI and Patrick Collison.

+ bonus one of @CallosumAI (@DanAkarca) which isn't building models but the systems/infrastructure where heterogeneous chips and intelligence work together - still frontier-level stuff.

And there are more coming.

Bloomberg says 15 DeepMinders met for breakfast in London in September to talk about raising money.

NICE
